Imagine Imogen

Imogen Heap has probably become my absolute favorite artist. She’s quirky, she’s innovative and every one of her songs takes me somewhere completely different. Here is my essential top five.

5. Sweet Religion: This song is haunting and a little bit menacing – very Halloween. It’s a good song to get the blood pumping but it can put you on edge. I recommend listening to it if you need to keep your wits about you…

4. The Moment I Said It: I love the theatricality of this song. Whenever I hear it I feel like I can see the scene playing out on stage. As always, the lyrics are powerful and her vocals are eerily beautiful.

3. Goodnight and Go: This song is just sweet. It’s the anthem of the new crush. It’s excited and it’s swooning and there are parts of it when I swear I feel butterflies in my stomach.

2. Hide and Seek: This digitally synthesized a cappella track is one you don’t forget. The angsty but quirky lyrics and electro voices present a surprisingly strong stick-it-to-the-man. It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel like one person standing their ground is enough to take down the machine.

1. Let Go: (Yes, I know this actually counts as a Frou Frou song) This is my cure for writer’s block. It’s my muse. Whenever it soars, my mind seems to soar right along with it and I always find inspiration. Plus, let’s face it, who didn’t love Garden State?
